TOILET-PAPER ROLL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 15, 1914..

original application filed February 10, 1908, Serial No 415,702. Divided and this application filed April To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK H. HoBnRG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Green Bay, county of Brown, and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Paper Rolls, of which the following is'a specification.

- My invention relates to improvementsin toilet paper rolls and is a division of a former application filed by me February 10, 1908, Serial Number 415,702, for improvements in toilet paper holders and packages.

The object of my invention is to provide a form of toilet paper package, which is adapted to be used in a fixture of the type shown in my former application, wherein the package is supported by an interior delivery device and the sheets removed therefrom, one by one from the interior, the body of the package being retained in position by an exterior band or wrapper and a retaining member passed through the lower end portion-of the wrapper and package.

In the following description, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of a package of toilet paper embodying my invention and showing one of the sheets partially removed. Fig. 2 is a side view of the package showing the same as it is applied to a fixture of the type illustrated in my former application, a portion of the casing being illustrated in section.

Like parts are identified by the same referencecharacters in both views.

The package A is composed of a series of independent sheets of paper, preferably rectangular in form, and of a length to permit a folding of the package at the transverse median line. The sheets are preferably of the same length and therefore, when the package is folded in this manner, the ends of the inner sheets at 01-60 will project beyond thoseof the outer sheets, this end of the package presenting a wedge shaped surface along which the end margins of the successive sheets are progressively exposed as indicated in the drawings. The package, in this position, is inclosed by a band or wrapper B, of any Suitable Serial No. 492,271.

width, and this band or wrapper is glued to the surface of the outer sheet of the package, and to the ends of the sheets at aa, where: they are successively exposed for contact with the wrapper. The lower end of the wrapper, viz :-that portion which extends over and beyond the wedge shaped portion of the package where the ends of the sheets are successively exposed, is provided with a perforation or aperture C, which receives a transverse stay or holding arm D connected with the fixture when the package is inserted therein. This perforation or aperture may extend through a portion of the package if desired. The wrapper may consist of any suitable material.

it is not essential that it be glued to the exposed ends of the sheets as above stated, but this is preferred, as it tends to detain the remaining sheets sufficiently to prevent them from following the withdrawing sheets too readily.

My invention differs from all packages of which I am aware, in the fact that the withdrawal of a sheet is accomplished from the interior, that it does not release the next sheet, and that the wrapper remains intact during the withdrawal of the sheets and retains the package in position on the fixture until the supply of sheets is exhausted. The outer sheet of tissue paper being preferably glued'to the wrapper continuously along its outer surface, may of course be regarded as a portion of the wrapper itself.

The package is supported upon a delivery roller F, forming a part of the fixture, and operated as explainedin my former application by any suitable means to start the inner sheet in contact with the roller, and

move it to the position indicated at f in,

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I A paper package comprising a series of superposed sheets of tissue paper, said package beingfolded transversely with the end margins of theinner sheet lapped together throughout their length and with the inner sheet-exposed for withdrawal laterally from between the folde sides of the package, in
